I really don't get why they are making this a trilgoy..one movie is fine but why a trilgoy. Anyway here is the info from Vierty.com Following in the footsteps of “The Hobbit” franchise, Warner Bros. is planning “three megamovies” for J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter spinoff, “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.”
The New York Times reports in its profile on WB CEO Kevin Tsujihara that the hotly anticipated franchise will be a trilogy.
Back when the series was first announced in September, Tsujihara was relatively tight-lipped about the project, only saying “The hope is that we’re going to build a film franchise.”
Tsujihara persuaded Rowling to revive the Harry Potter movie magic by adapting her Hogwarts textbook “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” for the big screen. Rowling wrote the 54-page book in 2001 between publication of the fourth and fifth Potter books.
“When I say he made ‘Fantastic Beasts’ happen, it isn’t P.R.-speak but the literal truth,” she said about Tsujihara. “We had one dinner, a follow-up telephone call and then I got out the rough draft that I’d thought was going to be an interesting bit of memorabilia for my kids and started rewriting!”
Set initially in New York about seven decades before the start of the Harry Potter story, the films will follow magizoologist Newt Scamander. They’re not prequels or sequels, but an “extension of the wizarding world.”link

It's a money tactic. 3 movies preserves the hype between each movie and they'll make more money that way.

Well, at the very least, at least it won't screw up the story, as there is really no story this movie was based on. Though the concept does sound interesting. It sounds like it could be it's own interesting movie not connected to the Potterverse. And maybe in the end, that connection could get an interesting, not usually mainstream type movie some recognition. Or it could give it some logic defying cameos and fan nods that end up overtaking the movie. We'll see.

I am intrested in seeing what magic was like in the 1920s..but this idea is going to be stretched out thanks to it being a trilogy..
